At one time the Buddha was staying near S\u0101vatth\u012b in Jeta\u2019s Grove, An\u0101thapi\u1e47\u1e0dika\u2019s monastery. Now at that time Venerable Ko\u1e47\u1e0da\u00f1\u00f1a Who Understood was sitting not far from the Buddha, cross-legged, with his body straight, reviewing the freedom through the ending of craving. The Buddha saw him meditating there. Then, understanding this matter, on that occasion the Buddha expressed this heartfelt sentiment: \u201cThere is no root or ground or leaves for them, so where would creepers sprout from? That attentive one is released from bonds: who is worthy to criticize them? Even the gods praise them, and by the Divinity, too, they\u2019re praised.\u201d","title":"The Ending of Craving","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":106}
